10/8/24 – This is an excellent and original example of the very rare and bizarre Dardick Model 1500 revolver in its original box. The original finish rates at 96-97% with minor wear and flaking on the front of the grip. Terrific, shiny bore. Proper mechanical function. The listing includes the original box, which is in very good condition but with minor cracking/wear at the edges.

______________

The Dardick 1500 is a very unusual, magazine-fed revolver. It’s estimated that only 100-200 were produced before Dardick discontinued early in the 1960s. The concept of this revolver was based on a triangular cartridge, called a “tround”, and a 3-chambered, open-sided cylinder. The concept was better suited for a machine gun with a high rate of fire, but Dardick applied the idea to a sidearm. It holds 15 rounds, inside a blind magazine in the grip. It is chambered for .38 caliber, essentially the same ballistics as .38 special. The guns were a complete commercial failure, with low production and lots of functional problems.
